"How so? Did they completely overhaul the interface? It didn't seem to me that they made many changes in it. Did game creators and other companies start porting their software?"
If you are seriously making that statement then you have no business making any statements, since you obviously have no clue at all. You yourself said that you havent worked on OSX, so why make such a dumb statement when u dont know. And yes companies ported their software. ">No it isn't I need my computer to do things that OSX cannot do. I need >applications that don't come with the computer. I need third party >applications that aren't developed for the Mac." Like what? Bout the only thing I can think of is .net junk(actually u can) and sql server and thats up to m$ to port not apple. Do you actually know that you can get 3rd party software on a mac? I hate to tell ya but yes it is possible. "After they switched over to the Intel platform I had a copy of OSX that I installed on a spare desktop." LMFAO, ok so you said earlier that you havent seen OSX and now you have a "spare copy of OSX laying around", OMG, you surely cant be serious. So if this is true then you had a pirated copy that "kinda" worked on a pc, other than that I hate to tell ya that you cant just install OSX on any pc and if you could it would barely work. Just so you know, just because its intel doesnt mean you can just install it on anything. and the rest of it, it pure bs, all your posts are contradicting, you say you havent used mac os since 8 or 9 and now you are an osx expert and mac IT expert? Quite frankly I cant see you as any kind of expert except a BS one. At this point you have 0 creditability and you just shouldnt try to answer anything else in this thread. You obviously have no clue about a mac and I have a clue about both, you cant win an argument when you are trying to bullshit your way through it. >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Dave l [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >> >> Umm no, its more like things and work flow work they way they are >supposed >> to, there is no waiting around for the computer to do something, no >> freezing up or bsod or constant cleaning out and virus scanning and >even >> things like switching between apps, its just faster, sleeker, better >on a >> mac. > >I don't have those problems, I don't have clean things out constantly, >and I don't run virus scanning software.
